Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) is apparently leading the Senate Intelligence Committee to grant retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies, such as AT&T and Verizon, regarding their involvement in the NSA's warrantless wiretapping activities. These graphs seem particularly telling:
The compact version:
AT&T Contributions to Rockefeller
January 2001 - February 2007: $300
March 2007: $19,350
Verizon Contributions to Rockefeller
January 2001 - March 2007: $3,750
April 2007 - June 2007: $23,500
